The AMD Ryzen processor, with Turbo Core of up to 3.7 GHz, can greatly boost virtualization performance. Interestingly enough the TS-1677X can also even perform as AI-oriented big data storage when used with a high-end graphics card and QNAP’s ” QuAI” AI developer package.

With the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, QNAP’s newly developed “QuAI” AI developer package can empower the TS-1677X NAS to perform as an AI/ML/DL solution. Data scientists and developers can leverage the NAS-based AI platform to quickly build, train, optimize, and deploy machine-learning models. When used with a high-end graphics card, the TS-1677X delivers incredible computing performance to empower data-intensive machine learning applications, providing immeasurable benefits for exploring intelligent services and the great business value they can provide.

The multi-threading TS-1677X is capable of simultaneously running multiple virtual machines. It is virtualization-ready for VMware , Citrix , Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server 2016 environments with the support of iSER (iSCSI Over RDMA). It can host virtual machines and containers as an efficient all-in-one server, and support snapshots and virtual machine backups for all-in-one virtualization management. The TS-1677X also supports vQTS that enables users to run multiple virtual QTS systems on a single NAS, to provide resource segregation benefits, flexible application deployment, and savings on power, cost, and physical space.

Combining high performance, storage potential, and SSD caching to optimize music streaming, the TS-1677X serves a perfect choice for the optimum Roon music experience. Users can install the Roon Server app in the QTS App Center and easily browse and play music with Roon apps on any compatible device for multi-zone multimedia experiences.
